Welcome to Save The Downtown Carlsbad Theater 2024!
DON'T BE FOOLED & SPREAD THE WORD!
What's The Deal?
The owners of the CARLSBAD Theater have changed the name of OUR beloved theater to "The State Street Theater", I believe in attempt to keep interested buyers of the property unaware of our powerful grassroots campaign to "keep OUR Theater a theater." Spread the word about this and direct interested friends and family to this website for timely updates. THANKS!
Will They "Keep The Theater A Theater"? Don't bet on it!

It Was A HUGE Celebration in Downtown Carlsbad!
The Event!
Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us on Friday evening, August 18th,
at our first Carlsbad Community Event at the 1927 Carlsbad Theater.
Starting with an incredible reception at New Village Arts across from the Carlsbad Theater
with amazing treats from Carlsbad Danish Bakery, Grand Ave Bar & Grill, Mas Fina Cantina,
Pizza Port, The Plot, Señor Grubby’s, and Wrench & Rodent, moviegoers enjoyed
delicious food, tasty drinks, caught up with neighbors and friends and celebrated in the
beautifully remodeled New Village Arts
And just across the street at 6:30 PM, the legendary Carlsbad Band,
The Langen Brothers, welcomed Save the Carlsbad Theater supporters to the beautiful venue.
After a fantastic Q&A with our Guest of Honor and Oscar nominee (“Who Framed Roger Rabbit”)
and 2023 Emmy nominee (“The Mandalorian) Dean Cundey, ASC, (pictured in phot above) delighted and
fascinated the audience with his thoughts on film and behind-the scenes
stories of working on “Back to the Future”, the classic film
(“Save the Bell Tower” & “Save the Carlsbad Theater”!) was screened to thunderous applause!
A great time was had by all!
